3.0 out of 5 stars Old and new values clash in modern day India, 14 Aug 2006
By L. Davidson (Belfast, N.Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
"Shikhar" is an entertaining ,if over long (two and a half hours), film about the relationship between a sly property developer and the idealistic young son of the leader of a religious commune. Their paths cross when the developer's plans to build a Las Vegas style city for the Mumbai elite in an idyllic ,rural, lakeside setting are foiled by the refusal of the guru of the commune to permit any construction to take place.The developer attempts to corrupt the guru's son and use him to persuade his father to relent. "Shikhar" has a good storyline ,the acting is quite impressive and the songs decent enough, although there are one or two too many. "Shikhar" is a morality tale and it contrasts the "two Indias" ; the traditional one , symbolised by the religious commune and the Westernising , capitalist one represented by the developer, GG, and his government friends. The film seems to plead for an accomodation between the two based on mutual respect , but can this be possible when huge amounts of money are at stake and when one side is convinced that only it represents the future ,with the other side hopelessly stuck in the past ?

4.0 out of 5 stars Low key environmental drama with sociopolitical aspects yet an entertainer, 13 Mar 2009
By Lyn "musicolit" (Melbourne Australia) - See all my reviews
This is a 2005 Bollywood movie about a range of important environmental and sociopolitical issues. It's hard to describe its pitch as they have tried to keep it light for wide appeal while addressing some important issues. It isn't an art house movie but nor is it exactly a light and fluffy piece. It is more realistic in tone rather than a melodrama.
The focus is an ashram that is focused on improving the lives of tribal people in the area. It is an orphanage and also a centre that is trying to rebuild the desolate and barren landscape by a massive tree-planting program. It is educational too in that many people don't realise the rain patterns and oxygen we breathe are also linked to trees.
It is also about conflicting interests - a corrupt developer (Ajay Devgan)with corrupt government connections who wants to build a Vegas style development where the ashram and trees are, vs the solid humanitarian values of the ashram. It is also about a young man (Shahid Kapoor) who is tempted by the modern glitz of the developers world. Will he stray from the solid values taught to him by his father (the guru of the ashram) or will he discard those values as irrelevant and be blind to how he is being manipulated by the developer. Shahid also has a minor love interest sub-plot with Amrita Rao.
There is also a cameo from John Abraham for whom the subject of the movie may well be close to the heart. He is said to be very involved with pouring his earnings into Jimmy Carter's work to house the poor in India.
The subject matter is important and does reflect the complexity of issues that face India if it is to move forward. It is put in a serious way (not the high melodrama as often Bollywood does) yet in a light and palatable form so it's educational content can be accessible widely to those viewing it.
It was a little slow to get off the ground but settled into a solid movie. It does have some song and a little dance but these arent a major feature. The songs were unmemorable but fine when on and the subtitles suggest the lyrics are there to inspire a love of the environment and solid values. The acting was good throughout from all participants. Shahid does well as the originally naive young man but with a good heart. Ajay also does the corrupt developer well. Bipasha Basu as Ajay's girlfriend is fine - though when Shahid gets interested in her it does seem odd as she comes across as much older and more sophisticated.
It is a movie too about what values are core and important in life, and it has heart.
Elsewhere on the Net this movie tends to rate mostly in the 5-8 out of 10 range.
I'm hanging onto this one.
